Natuzzi: Second Quarter and First Half 2014 Consolidated Financial Results

The Board of Directors of Natuzzi S.p.A. (NYSE:NTZ) ("Natuzzi” or the "Company”) has approved its consolidated financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2014.

After the meeting of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, Pasquale Natuzzi, commented:

"First semester results deliver two important messages about the progress of the 2014-2016 Transformation Plan: they confirm the validity of our overall marketing and distribution strategy, while highlighting the need to implement certain corrective measures within the Group’s industrial operations which may result in slower implementation of the Plan than originally envisaged.

Notwithstanding encouraging high single-digit growth in year-to-date order flow, the performance of our industrial plants has fallen short of our expectations. Production delays in China and inefficiencies at the Italian plants – together with unfavorable currency movements that have affected our sales by 3.3% - have contributed to a decline in the Company’s turnover to €211.1 million, a decrease of 6.1% compared to the first six months of 2013.

At the same time, we highlight a significant recovery in our sales during the second quarter of 2014. In fact, on a quarterly basis, second quarter turnover was down 1.2% (or up 1.7% at constant exchange rates), a 10% improvement from the 11.2% reduction reported in the first quarter of the year.

All of the above has negatively affected our industrial margin, which declined to 27.1% in the first half of 2014 compared to 29.2% in the first half of 2013.

The strengthening of the Euro against the US dollar, which led to a €1.6 million decline in first half operating results, and the increase in the cost of leather, which led to a €4 million increase in the cost of goods sold, also contributed to an operating loss of €20.4 million for the first half of 2014 (compared to an operating loss of €14.3 million for the first half of 2013). In this regard, we expect the recent weakening of the Euro against the US dollar and the increase in our price list since May to offset the increase in leather cost in the following quarters.

The execution of the other restructuring projects included in the 2014-2016 Transformation Plan is continuing on schedule, and we are further strengthening the Group’s management team, including through two recent appointments within our commercial operations (Americas and Western Europe), and three new managers responsible for HR and Organization, Italian Operations and Quality, respectively.

In light of encouraging order flow, continuing improvements in our operations and the on-time execution of the other projects in the Transformation Plan, I believe we can confirm the long-term goals as reflected in the Plan.
